Shout out to a different kind of partner - the Baltimore Orioles!

Recently, the Orioles were kind enough to host a group of CFUF's dads and their kids for a wonderful day of food, friendship and, of course, baseball.

This outing was part of our Baltimore Responsible Fatherhood Program, where dads work together to learn and grow into the best fathers they can be.
